Safety

Certified safety at every stage.

Leak detection, automatic shut-off, OPSO/UPSO protection and fire-rated cabinets from the bulk tank to the kitchen tap — internationally-benchmarked and independently verifiable.

Our approach

Engineered to fail safe

Safety is designed in, not added on — layered mechanical protection backed by continuous digital monitoring.

Defence in depth

Independent layers — mechanical relief, excess-flow, pressure shut-offs, detectors and solenoids — so no single failure removes protection.

Local action, remote supervision

Life-critical closures use a hard-wired detector → solenoid loop. LoRa never sits in the critical path; it supervises, logs and reports.

Fail-safe by design

Solenoids are 24 V fail-safe, valves are lockable, and the estate ESD closes on emergency — the safe state is the default state.

Layered protection

Safeguards at every point

From the fenced tank compound to the appliance, each stage carries its own independent protection.

At the tank yard

  • 85% automatic fill-stop limiter
  • Pressure relief valve to a vertical vent stack
  • Excess-flow valve at the tank outlet
  • Emergency solenoid wired to the estate ESD panel
  • Earthing, bonding and lightning protection
  • 2 × 9 kg extinguishers, fire sand and locked fence

In the network

  • Paired OPSO / UPSO over- and under-pressure shut-offs
  • Building-entry excess-flow and manual isolation valves
  • Lockable floor isolation valves on every riser
  • Ventilated riser shafts to prevent gas accumulation
  • Fire seals and pipe sleeves at wall penetrations
  • Yellow pipe identification on all visible runs

In each apartment

  • Gas & CO detectors below-hob and near sleeping areas
  • 24 V solenoid that cuts supply on a leak alarm
  • Manual apartment isolation valve at the entry
  • Flame-failure devices on cooker and water heater
  • Room-sealed, balanced-flue water heaters
  • Approved flexible LPG hose to appliances
Siting & separation

Clearances that meet the standard

The tank compound is sited clear of buildings, with separation distances set by whether a rated firewall is present.

  • Float level gauge on the tank top; PRV piped to a safe vent; earthing lug on the tank saddle.
  • Danger signage, no-smoking notices, drip-tray spill containment and a restricted-access locked gate.
  • Commissioning includes pressure tests and leak tests, with dates recorded in compliance logs.

Every event is logged. Leak, tamper, pressure and valve events are recorded to an immutable audit trail, with role-based access and 2FA on critical operations.
